What is the collective noun for kidnap?

There isn't a specific collective noun for kidnap.

Collective nouns are used to describe groups of things, like a flock of birds or a herd of elephants. Since kidnap is an action, not a group of things, it doesn't have a collective noun.

You could use phrases like:

* A series of kidnappings

* Multiple instances of kidnapping

* A wave of kidnappings

* A string of kidnappings

These phrases convey the idea of multiple kidnappings occurring together.
